To start collecting social registrations with Facebook, you need to get your Facebook app up and running. Facebook is one of the one services that requires your app to get manually approved by their team. It's not really that tricky. Just follow along with the video or the written instructions and shout out if we can help.

11. Go back to your AE dashboard tab

12. In the Connect Your Social Apps section, select the Facebook icon.

13. Paste your App ID and Secret into the AE window

Then press the Activate service button (don't worry about the scopes!).

14. You can see your Facebook app is live with AE!

15. High five!

The first stage is complete and you've built your basic Facebook App.

16. Remember that you'll need to set it live and you may need to submit to Facebook for approval.

Just go to the App Review panel and set the slider to Yes.

When you click the toggle, you'll see this message.

Facebook automatically approves permissions for email, public profile and user friends data. If you want more permissions, you'll have to submit your app to Facebook for approval. For more on that, see our article on Extended Facebook Permissions.
